Spurgeon's The Treasury of David
Bible Commentary on Psalms

Spurgeon's own commentary on every verse of the Psalms is extremely insightful and by itself it would have been rich enough for posterity. But there's much more in The Treasury of David. You'll find a wealth of illuminating extracts and quotes from hundreds of commentators - contemporaries of Spurgeon as well as the great Puritan expositors of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Preachers and teachers will appreciate the homiletical hints on almost every verse concise sermon outlines and provocative seed thoughts.

Of all Spurgeon's writings the one that is his greatest works is "The Treasury of David" composed and polished over the span of nearly half his ministry. First published in weekly installments over a twenty-year span in the London Metropolitan Tabernacle's periodical The Sword and the Trowel completed sections were released volume by volume until the seventh and final volume was released in 1885.

Within a decade more than 120000 sets had been sold. The Treasury of David is a superb literary achievement. Eric Hayden pastor of the Metropolitan Tabernacle a century after Spurgeon's ministry began there calls this work "Spurgeon's magnum opus." Spurgeon's wife said that if Spurgeon had never written any other work this would have been a permanent literary memorial.

Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834-1892) was born in Essex England. After preaching his first sermon at the age of 16 he became pastor of the church in Waterbeach at the age of 17. His most fruitful years of ministry were at the New Park Street and later the Metropolitan Tabernacle pulpit in London. Called the "Prince of Preachers" he had more than 1900 sermons published prior to his death.
